Jim ThierfelderA follow up to the questionable Mantle ball...
I took it to the National last week to have it authenticated and it was deemed likely not authentic (you were right Jodi, I should have saved my money).
In any case, Kit Young Collectibles has offered to refund the purchase price of the ball. As dissapointed as I am in having held this ball so long assuming it was the real deal only to find out it is likely not genuine and not worth what it could have been, I appreciate the fact that Kit Young Collectibles will stand behind their guarantee after so much time has passed.
Lesson learned... I will stick to cards.
